Street Portraits by Todd Smith
3
This book is a collection of photographs taken during Bele Chere from 2006-2012. If you are expecting to see portraits of familiar bands or local craftsmen you will be disappointed. My intention was to take noteworthy pictures of ‘ordinary’ people. And this annual bacchanalian street fair (one of several in Asheville) has never failed to offer a generous supply of subject matter. Bele Chere is one of a series of books on Asheville street festivals. Todd Smith 2013
